Rollerballs

A Rollerball pen is more related to the fountain pen because it uses a water-based ink. Despite all the convenience ballpoint pens offer, fountain pen users missed the smooth flow of ink that was a feature of a fountain pen and the way this ink felt on a paper. A new pen was designed to fulfill the demands of those loyalists, the Rollerball pen. This pen also used the same kind of nib that contained a ball that moved continuously leaving behind ink on paper. Since the water based ink of a rollerball pen has a higher rate of drying out, having a cap is absolutely necessary for this pen to cover the pen nib when not in use. Rollerball ink spreads on paper widely and goes inside the paper a little deeper than oil-based ink of a ballpoint pen and retains some of the qualities of a fountain pen.
